A public consultation is underway as Quinte Conservation plans amendments to its Quinte Source Protection Plan.
The Quinte Source Protection Plan has been in effect since 2015 to protect sources of municipal drinking water in the Quinte Conservation Source Protection Area.
These plans contain policies for activities that have been determined to be significant drinking water threats in areas near municipal groundwater wells and surface water intakes.
The proposed changes are required to improve policies and adapt to the new Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks technical rules.
They include redefining some policies surrounding the need for risk-management plans and the timing for establishing those plans.
The public consultation phase ends February 22.
